SAM Worthington has opened up about his own mother Jeanne’s battle with ovarian cancer in a bid to raise further awareness about the disease.

“In Australia, one woman dies from ovarian cancer every 10 hours. Mum’s cancer battle struck at the heart of life and death for me. She said, ‘I’m not going to let this disease control how I live’,” Worthington told GQ, in an edition which goes on sale on Monday.

“I might not have agreed with the way Mum chose to handle her treatment at the time but, she taught me that the best way to help her was to stop being all ‘woe is me’, so we did, and everyone in our family got stronger by staying positive together,” he said.

The extremely private 37-year-old star has rarely spoken before about his family life or mother’s illness. She recovered from the disease but to this day, it has affected Worthington enormously.

“When I was young my parents were these titanic, infallible figures. But Mum’s illness, and Dad’s battles with diabetes and heart attacks had a ripple effect on me — reminding me of my own mortality and that these illnesses are genetic. Self-awareness and early detection are key [to finding ovarian cancer], so that’s what we’re encouraging with White Shirt Day: don’t think twice, support the campaign on May 1,” Worthington said.

The actor is one of a group of male stars supporting the white shirt campaign, with others including David Wenham and Don Hany also appearing in a GQ fashion shoot based on the White Shirt Campaign.

The campaign supports the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) with 100 per cent of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Witchery white shirts donated directly to the foundation. [Source]

Sam Worthington and Idris Elba will team up with Noomi Rapace in Alive Alone, a New York-set thriller marking the directorial debut of Khurram Longi.

Elba will star as Jamal, an ex-detainee of Guantanamo Bay working as a taxi driver, and Rapace will play Sarah, a prostitute on the run from a feared crime boss. When their worlds collide, they unexpectedly find salvation in each other. Worthington will play the crime boss Murphy.

Thunder Road Pictures will make the movie which is being touted to buyers during the European Film Market by Protagonist Pictures.

Director James Cameron announced that Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana will reprise their roles from the 2009 blockbuster in three more movies.

“Jake Sully is rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength,” Cameron said in a statement.

“Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they’ll be returning with us to Pandora,” his statement continued.

Stephen Lang, who played mad Marine Colonel Quaritch in the 2009 film (and appeared to have died at the end of the movie), was the first star to sign on for more “Avatar.”

The plot of the new films is being kept under wraps, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Jake and Neytiri have children in the films.

The first sequel will hit theaters in December 2016, with the second to follow in December 2017, and the third a year later. [Source]

The “Avatar” actor is co-producing the project, which Michael Rymer will direct.

Actor Sam Worthington will star in as well as produce The Gallipoli Story, with Michael Rymer (American Horror Story, Battlestar Galactica) named as director of the four-hour miniseries for Foxtel, the pay TV company said Monday.

The Gallipoli Story, set to shoot in South Australia in 2014, is one of two major productions to be made for Australian TV to commemorate the 2015 centenary of the ill-fated World War I battle that’s largely defined Australian nationhood.

Matchbox Pictures’ Penny Chapman; John Schwarz of Full Clip, and Penny Win, Foxtel’s commissioning editor of drama are executive producers alongside Worthington, who has been intimately involved in the development of the project. Read the rest of this entry »

Sam Worthington was on the hook, then he was off the hook, after an allegedly drunken scuffle Saturday night in Atlanta that led to his arrest on suspicion of disorderly conduct.

The “Avatar” star was refused entrance to a restaurant because he appeared intoxicated and didn’t have proper identification to get into the place, TMZ reported Monday. Worthington then became disorderly, according to a police report obtained by the website, and allegedly pushed doorman Jerry Link twice.

The doorman in turn nailed the actor with pepper spray and cuffed him until cops arrived, the report said. And after the blast? Worthington told Link, “I’m a DEA agent,” according to TMZ.

Worthington plays a DEA agent in the film “Ten,” which he’s shooting in Atlanta and which costars Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Federal fabrication aside, Worthington was out of trouble almost as fast as he got into it when charges were dismissed Monday morning after Link didn’t show in court. The bouncer, however, maintains nobody told him about the court date.

People confirmed the incident with a restaurant manager who would not comment. [Source]
